MRA: Network-Based Training and Access to HPC using NERO-- the Network for Engineering and Research in Oregon

9523629 Pancake这个国家科学基金会超级中心区域联盟将把俄勒冈联合工程研究生院与圣地亚哥超级计算机中心联系起来。其目标是改善太平洋西北部的工程师和科学家获得高性能计算(HPC)的机会。促进这一协作工作的将是一个高速光纤网络，俄勒冈州工程和研究网络(NERO)，该网络于1994年首次部署。拟议的人力资源评估将利用这一基础设施，通过分布式访问高性能计算平台、支持并行编程的工具和环境、在线培训材料和范例应用程序，并通过几种类型的远程协作会话访问关键人力资源，从而扩大高性能计算用户群体。MRA将利用Nero基础设施提供：关于HPC工具和环境的分布式、基于网络的信息存储库基于网络的交互式培训材料和专门为非计算机科学家开发的示例应用程序研讨会、远程用户小组会议和交互式咨询会议的网络互动广播、实时和事后重放桌面视频会议、共享白板和共享文件系统，用于通过Nero广域网络进行MRA协作高速网络访问俄勒冈州内的并行计算平台访问圣地亚哥超级计算机中心专用网络访问与其他国家和地区元中心的协作框架

9523629 Pancake This NSF Metacenter Regional Alliance(MRA) will Link the Oregon Joint Graduate School of Engineering to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The objective is to improve access to high performance computing (HPC) for engineers and scientists in the Pacific Northwest. Facilitating this collaborative work will be a high speed fiber optic network, the Network for Engineering and Research in Oregon (NERO), which was first deployed in 1994. The proposed MRA will exploit that infrastructure to expand the HPC user community through distributed access to HPC platforms, to tools and environments supporting parallel programming, to online training materials and example applications, and to key human resources via several types of remote collaborative sessions. The MRA will exploit the NERO infrastructure to provide: a distributed, network-based repository of information on HPC tools and environments network-based, interactive training materials and example applications developed specifically for non-computer scientists network-wide interactive broadcasts of seminars, remote user group meetings, and interactive consulting sessions, both real-time and as after-the-fact replay desktop videoconferencing, shared white boards and shared file system for MRA collaboration over the NERO wide area network highspeed network access to parallel computing platforms within Oregon dedicated network access to the San Diego Supercomputer Center a framework for collaboration with other national and regional metacenters
